Big Finish Podcast Notes and Misc News Roundup Thread

Probably a BBC mandate to say that, because the Beeb themselves want to erase that theory with The War Games in Colour.

Ahh, such a tragicomic story. But it’s good to hear that we could get more Rani! (I was going to page @sircarolyn, but she made it here just before I was done writing this post) and hoping BF gets the green light to use the Archite Panjabi version soon!

They laugh because they know it’s true… :smiley:

How many peoppe can say that they released a new website in their 90s? That’s wild! Respect to the GOAT!

It’s not actually @ItsR0b0tNinja doing these. They are compiled by a user over on Reddit, and she has the permission to bring them over here, so she just copy-pastes them as is :slight_smile:

PODCAST NOTES:

  • Not really anything Doctor Who related this week, though one listener asked why the Star Cops range is moving to download only when the range has previously had CDs available. Nick understands the issue and apologizes, but forgoing the physical release lets them actually fund the project. So something like this could eventually happen to some Doctor Who ranges, and in fact already has with UNIT: Brave New World.

What Big Finish I Was Listening to This Week: Finished the new Fourth Doctor Adventures, and as has been typical for the range recently I wasn’t very impressed. The Seventh Doctor Adventures: Past Forward, on the other hand…just wow. A definite contender for best Weeping Angel story I’ve ever heard. And after a tease in Classic Doctors, New Monsters, we finally get Ray back!

Random Tangents: Nick and Benji come up with the name for a pub, The Crooked Putter, only to discover one already exists in Arizona. Benji becomes a bit obsessed with the menu, and Nick discovers sausage gravy.
